Investment gap: EIB analysis

• Productivity growth in EU < US since mid-1990s
• Additional investment estimated by EIB:

      + € 130bn/y in R&D to meet EU target of 3% of GDP
      + € 100bn/y to upgrade Energy networks
      + € 80bn/y to upgrade Transport networks
      + € 65bn/y to reach EU Digital Agenda standards
      + € 10 bn/y for state-of-the-art Education facilities
      + € 90 bn/y to rehabilitate Environmental services and Water
      + € 35bn/y in VC financing to match US levels of VC/GDP

• Most of these needs have to be translated into concrete investment

Example of EFSI projects

Innovative renewable energy infrastructure fund in
Denmark

•   EIB, backed by EFSI, provides equity-type financing of up to EUR 75m to
    Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners for an innovative infrastructure fund
    investing in large energy-related projects such as offshore wind, biomass
    and transmission schemes.
•   EIB's equity participation would contribute to the fund’s overall market
    credibility with institutional investors and help broaden its investor base to
    an international one.
•   The anticipated high share of offshore wind, biomass and transmission
    investments is expected to generate considerable employment in the
    construction phase (2500 - 4000 jobs). It is also estimated that some 1000
    jobs may be created during the project’s operation, a significant number of
    which will be highly-skilled jobs.

                                                                                     30
Example of EFSI project

Energy efficiency in residential buildings in France

 The EIB, backed by EFSI, provides a €400m loan to a pioneering financing
  programme aimed at addressing the need to trigger energy efficiency investments
  in private homes in France on a large scale.
 The project supports an innovative approach by French regions to set up
  specialised companies to provide a ‘packaged’ solution covering technical and
  financial assistance to homeowners for retrofitting.
 The project is expected to support retrofitting of some 40 000 flats and houses.
 Energy efficiency investments will benefit the economy by cutting energy bills,
  saving      emissions     and       creating     new     construction    jobs
  (c. 6 000). Total energy savings are estimated to be of the order of
  288 000MWh per year. This is roughly equivalent to the annual energy
  consumption of 9 600 French households.

                                                                                     31
Example of EFSI projects

Accessibility Ports Infrastructure (Spain)
   The project concerns the financing of the Fondo Financiero de Accesibilidad Terrestre
    Portuaria (FFATP), to support investments in accesses via rail and road to the main national
    ports during 2015-2020. The project will improve interoperability between transport modes in
    the TEN-T network as all ports are TEN-T and in Cohesion Priority Regions.
   The majority of schemes contribute to Climate Change through Sustainable Transport
    objectives.
   Third party financing required in order to complete the financing needs.
   Financing from the EIB will accelerate the construction of projects and will act as a catalyst for
    the participation of the Spanish NPB (ICO) and commercial banks.

Transport rolling stock (Italy)
   Innovative financing structure (bond scheme) under EFSI for the acquisition of 49 five-car
    articulated EMUs and 250 double-deck passenger coaches.
   New rolling stock will be used in 5 regions, concentrating 50% of the service supply and 60%
    of the entire Trenitalia’s patronage.
   Delivery of new rolling stock: 2014 – 2016
   Project Investment Cost: € 709m
   Loan amount: € 300m

Example of EFSI-backed EIF operation

EIF and Bpifrance sign first agreement for innovative French
companies

•Under the agreement, Bpifrance will provide finance to innovative companies in
France for a total of EUR 420 million over the next two years with support of EFSI,
allowing EIF to provide a new financing boost for highly innovative businesses under
the Horizon 2020 initiative InnovFin, the EU's Finance for Innovators.

•Bpifrance has recently launched a product called "Prêt d'Amorçage investissement"
("PAi") to address the needs of start-up companies. It will combine this product with
the EU guarantee at a 40% guarantee rate.

                                                                                        34
Example of EFSI-backed EIF operation

EIF and BGK sign first COSME agreement in Europe
to benefit Polish businesses

•The agreement will provide BGK with a counter-guarantee allowing to support PLN
1,000 million (ca. EUR 250 million) of loans to SMEs in Poland over the next two
years with the support of EFSI.
•The loans will be provided without hard collateral thanks to a 80% guarantee which in
turn is backed by a counter-guarantee from the EIF, provided under the COSME
programme with financial backing from the EU.
•The agreement will make it possible for BGK to launch a new guarantee product and
to support additional financing without requiring hard collateral (e.g. mortgage) at
favourable conditions to approximately 5,000 SMEs.

                                                                                         35
